| DAC upgrade The Bluesound Node sometimes takes a beating here as there are better performing streamers costing double, triple the price and more. I have the Node X paired with a Pontus 12 Anniversary and I really like the sound. Natural, organic with an ease ... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? +1 soix. I think two REL could also do the trick. I own the F12SE with GR Research drivers myself. But not irritating the neighbors in a condo???? Not sure about that one. Keep it low volume. | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Anyone who has watching Danny Richie from GR-Research has seen first hand that spending more money on audio does NOT ALWAYS equal better performance or even better parts. I think it’s naive to think that it does, but it is a natural inclination t... | |
| DAC upgrade Pontus 12th Anniversary here. My 2nd choice is Benchmark DAC3. These are both outstanding units. The Denafrips is really natural sounding. The Benchmark is very detailed. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade As the conversation continues about quality streamers and whether it’s advisable, logical to upgrade it’s fair to ask how many dealers are posting because of the chance of a big sale. Let’s face it- many here can get stuck on the idea they have to... | |

| New, Very Interesting CD Transport While the debate goes on about the sound quality of a basic dvd/cd player against a much more expensive unit like a Shanling, Esoteric or Jay’s Transport I would like to clear up a different misconception. China has many factories, audio companies... | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. You guys are awesome and if I might add, indicative of the positive force in the universe. No one needs to go on “the dark side”. | |
| Bluesound Node settings I have a BS Node X after having 3 other BS products including a Vault 2. I also have the Pontus 12 Anniversary but also decided to add a Teddy Pardo PS to the Node X. Like you I am continually surprised at the quality of the sound. Everyone has to... | |
| What would you do? Integrated tube amp. With both preamp and amp- tube driven. To me, this is the only way to get tube sound. The other option, more expensive, is a tube amp and matching tube pre amp. | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil WOW, your wife got you that gift. I got boxer briefs and socks…. again? Haha. Enjoy my friend, enjoy the music. | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I agree with most people here but want to add a very overlooked point. In my experience with streaming - is that the quality of the recording makes a very, very significant difference. Take streaming out of the equation and place a quality turntab... | |
